Craving Thai boat noodles with a side of sea breeze? Siam Bowl is a newly-opened Thai noodle spot in Forest City, JB, serving up bowls inspired by the flavours and atmosphere of Thailand’s famous floating markets.

Tucked by the beach, the casual open-air stall makes the most of its seaside setting. Grab a camping chair, settle onto a mat and enjoy your noodles with the breeze coming in from the coast. It’s a far cry from the usual air-conditioned noodle shop, and that’s part of the charm.

The menu keeps things simple, with Thai boat noodles going for just RM2.50 per bowl. There’s the Rangsit Chicken Boat Noodle, a comforting option built around tender chicken and a rich, savoury broth, alongside a Sour Spicy Chicken Boat Noodle for those who prefer their noodles with a fiery, tangy kick.
For something with a seafood twist, the Tomyam Prawn Boat Noodle combines prawns with the familiar sweet, sour and spicy notes of Thai tomyam.
Beyond the noodles, you’ll also find Thai Papaya Salad (RM9.90), fried snacks, drinks and desserts including Kangkung Tempura (RM9.90), Mango Sticky Rice (RM11.90), Thai Milk Tea (RM9.90) and Thai Green Iced Tea (RM9.90). The small portions make it easy to mix and match a few bowls, especially if you want to sample different flavours without committing to one big bowl.
Another plus is that Siam Bowl uses no pork and no lard, making it a more accessible option for Muslim diners looking for Thai food in Forest City.

As the outlet is currently in its soft-opening phase, service may take a little longer than usual. So, come with some patience, grab a chair and let the seaside setting do its thing while you wait.
For a casual Thai meal that comes with a view, Siam Bowl is one newly-opened Forest City spot worth adding to your JB food radar.
